Teacher's information
The PdF MU "Kejbaly" is located at the Brno-Bohunice University Campus, Vinohrady 100.

The garden can be reached by bus line 61 (for example, stop Křídlovická - next to Ronda). You have to go out at the KAMENICE stop !!!

Or by bus line 40 (direction University campus - north), or line 69. Another option is to arrive by car, if you choose this option, take a look at the search engine (www.mapy.cz) how to get there. Ideal is to arrive from campus and park over the stairs to the garden. The garden itself is in the forbidden entrance. If you were caught by the police officers, take the student's pass and go to the faculty garden (but you might get fined).
